Experienced producers for "that jones boy!" - a job post by Robert D. Carver

About the job

"That Jones Boy! Or, the Adventures of a Bastard" is a Musical Comedy of Manners adapted from Henry Fielding's classic mid-18th century novel, "Tom Jones."  Presented as a show-within-a-show, the plot follows the protagonist from his infancy and childhood (in the prologue) through his young manhood and encounters with various women, duels, to the gallows where he is about to be hanged for a crime he did not commit. He is rescued and restored to the waiting arms of his one true love and the other characters are properly paired as the curtain calls.

This production is intended to be as immersive as possible for audiences, with a select number of ticket buyers invited to attend in period costume, at a slightly reduced admission price.

Large cast of 39 actor-singer-dancers, all of whom perform multiple roles under the Actors' Equity Favored Nations Agreement. Orchestra: 24 players who have parity under the regulations of Local 802. Multiple, cinematically rapidly changing scenes and period costumes best described as "a designer's wet dream."
